To all'wzom it may conocrm" Figure 7 is an enlarged detail view dis- Be it known thatg we, vDAN1nL T. FmDENA closing one end of t-he supporting arm formand WILLIAM E. JUDD, citizens of the United States, residing at Brockwa'yville, in the county ofk Jefferson and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Hair Curler, of which the following -is a specification. l

This invention relates to hair curlers and `more particularly to a device especially designed for permanently Waving the hair.

' that changes in the precise embodin'ient of The primary object of the invention is to provide a device for permanently waving, the structure being such as to insure against burning of the hair while in use.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of this character wherein the hair ywill not touch the heated iron, but will be suspended in a heated compartment while Wra ped on a suitable curling iron.

'A still filrther object of the invention is to provide a device'of this character which may be conveniently handled without fear of the operators hands'being burned, by th device.

With the foregoing and other vobjects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention. f

Referring to the` drawings Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view through a device constructed in accordance with the invention.

Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on line 2-2 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on line 3 3 of Figure 1. l

be employed in the construction of the body portion.

The body portion 5 is tubular in formatlon and has its ends closed by disks 6 and 7 respectively, the disk 6 being provided with an opening to accommodate the insulating member `7 through which the wires 8 and 9 extend, the wires being supported' in a suitable tubular housing 10.

Positioned within the body portion 5 is a tubular member 11 formed of asbestos material insulating the body portion against heat from the heating element of the device,

so that the body portion may be conveniently handled by the operator Without fear of burning his hands. p

A disk of asbestos material indicated at 12 closes one end of the tubular member 11 to insulate the disk 6 from the heat of the heating element within the device. A tubular member 13 formed of suitable metal is positioned in the body portion and contacts with the asbestos member 11 to support asbestos yarn indicated at 14, within the body portion.

Positioned in the body portion and supported in spae d relation with the member- 13 ins a metal tu ular member 15 in which is positioned the supporting member 16 which has tapered walls and a iange 17, the flange .being adapted to fit within the member 15 to hold the supporting member 16 in position.

Surrounding the member 15 is a tube 18 formed of mlca to support the resistance wires 19 employed for heating the interior nection with the lcoil 19 at the outer end ofA of the device, the resistance coils 19 being shown as in circuit with the wire 9 through the thermostat 20 which is shown as in its inactive osition. This thermostat is ot a construction such that when the temperature within the member 15 reaches a predetermined degree, the expansion of the thermostat will, cause the contact arms thereof to disengage each other to break the circuit.

A semi-cylindrical mica member 21 is positioned over the coil 19 and embraces the lower portion thereof` so that the coil 19 may be insulated from the wire 9 which extends into the body portion and has conthe device. The asbestos yarn 14 is packed around the tubular member 1S and over the wires 19 insulating the wires vfrom each other and at the same time providing means for supporting the wires and tubular members in their proper positions.

A supporting wall is indicated at 22 and is provided with an opening to accommodate the wires tl and 9 and tubular members supporting them.v The outer end of the body portion is closed by the member 23 which is formed with a linger 24 under which the movable section 25 lies when one ot the `hair supporting irons is positioned in the device.

'lhe cut out portion 26 provides a clearance for the hair supporting members to be hereinafter more `fully described to allow them to be positioned in the device.

The hair supporting devices forming a part of the invention are especially constructed for making a permanent wave and a permanent -Marcel wave, the iron for accomplishing the permanent wave being indicated by the reference character 27. This iron includes a tubular body portion around which the hair to be curled may be wrapped, there being provided a plug 28 adapted to be positioned in one end of the member 2?.

This plug 28 is provided with cut out portions 29 to accommodate a securing member indicated at 30 which securing' member may be positionedaround the hair to further twist the hair on the iron .27. lhe inner end ofthe plug 28 is provided with a resilient -finger 31 which will permit the plug to rot-ate in one direction, but restrict movement of the plug in the opposite direction. Thus it will be seen, due to this construction that when the hair has been placed on the iron and the plug rotated in one direction to further secure the hair tothe iron, reverso movement of the plug will be prevented', to the end that the hair will be securely held in a twisted position.

' The iron employed for Marcel waving the hair and which is illustrated by Figure 9 of the drawings, includes a pair of tubular members indicated ,at 32, which tubular members are supported in spaced relation ineaoee A to the hair..

lt might be further stated that a handle indicated at 37 is secured to rthe body portion 5 and affords means whereby the device mayv be held in the hands of the user, while being 'properl adjusted. An eye bolt 38 is secured to t e body portion and provides means to allow a. hook oi the usual supporting member employed tor supporting the devices while in use, to be positioned Atherein.

ln the use of the device, the hair to be curled is wrapped around the iron to be used, and the iron is positioned in the heat- ,ing chamber or tubular member 15 and the electric current is turned on.

is the current coil, it is obvious t at the heat will-pass into the tubular member 15 in which the hair is positioned. lt is to be understood that prior to the positioning of the supporting iron and hair wrapped therearound, the hair is treated with a suitable fluid employed in permanent waving, which fluid when heated, acts to retain the wave in the hair.

lt will be seen that due tothis construction, the hair under treatment is supported in spaced relation with the heating element, and does not in any wayl contact with a heated iron which would lrill`-.the hair and cause it to tall out.

lWe claim 1. ln a device oit the character described, a body portion, a tubular member in the body portion, a heating element surrounding the tubular member, a. supporting member having an inclined wall, an iron adapted to be positioned in the tubular member, said iron adapted 'to engage the inclined wall of passes into the resistance the supporting member when being positioned in the tubular member to cause the iron to be supported centrally oit the tubular member and in spaced relation with the walls thereof, and means for closing the ends of the tubular member.

2. ln a device of the character described, a body portion, a tubular member within the body portion, a heating element surounding the tubular member, means 'for insulating the tubular member 'from 'the body portion, said tubular member constituting a heating chamber, a stationary member positioned at one enel of the body portion, a lmovable asur own, we have hereto aiz'zed our. s ighamember "associated with the stationaryl merntures in the presence of two witnesses.
